Nissan Patrol 2003: 4.2-litre petrol cracked cylinder head

I HAVE noticed with interest the letters about cracked pistons with the Nissan Patrol 3-litre turbo diesel. My 4.8-litre petrol-engined 2003 Patrol cracked a cylinder head with 50,000km on it and 17 days after the warranty ran out. After a lot of negotiation with Nissan I was offered $2300 out of a total bill of just over $6000. The easy way out was to accept the offer, which I did.
